"My experience with yoga is that it is a life changing force. Yoga develops strength and flexibility, focus and confidence and a sense of connection with a spirit greater than just me. Yoga grounds me and at the same time opens possibilities. My intention in teaching is to pass that on, that sense of living life to the fullest, vibrant, strong, and open."
